Exhibition Booths

Overview

This year’s conference and exhibition are located at Bangkok Convention Center at Central World. This conference and exhibition center is an extension of Centara Grand Hotel at Central World and is easily accessible to the hotel’s lobby area.

Hall A1 is reserved for the WACE exhibition for which all WCA Family delegates are welcome to freely visit at no additional charge. The WACE exhibition will be open from 18-20 February 2009 (it will close on the afternoon of 20 th February).

 Hall B1 is reserved for WCA Family’s conferences and exhibitions. This conference and exhibition are special due to the conference layout which features exhibition booths being located in the same room as the One-on-One meetings making it more convenient for delegates to move between exhibition booths and one-on-one tables and providing maximum exposure at the same time.

Benefits of Exhibiting

  1. Booths allow you to display artwork highlighting your company’s services in graphic
  detail.

  2. Booths offer more prominent exposure of your company’s name and services provided.

  3. Booths create the impression that your company is more professional, a key player in
   the industry, and has more services to offer than other companies.

  4. Effective and easy distribution of your company's promotional materials.

  5. An exhibition is one of the most effective media for establishing and maintaining
  customer relations.  In the digital age, it's the only medium which buyers, sellers, and
  products physically come together.

  6. One-on-one personal interaction and communication with existing and potential
  customers.

  7. All of your one-on-one meetings can be scheduled to happen at your booth so that you
  are better able to show off the services provided by your company.
